Well, that's remarkable ... I had no idea. Thank you.

(Question: when you render the example, does the baseline of the
second score appear a very small fraction of a space *higher* than the
baseline of the first score?)

Won't work for the chorales (because they're usually a line and a
half, maybe two, long) but will definitely work for laying of tables
of notation in a type of catalog (another project on the side, for
which I've been using \stopStaff and \startStaff very successfully ...
thanks to Hans Forbich for sponsoring the development!)

Yes, much better, as well. Thank you for both solutions!
